FROM THE COLUMBIAN CENTINEL.
BOSTON, December 25.
Those who rejoice in the prosperity of their country, must feel a pleasure on reading the SPEECH of our beloved PRESIDENT, which no language can fully describe. The prospects it holds out to the citizens of the United States, are highly flattering; and it more than realizes the anticipations of the friends of the general government. May AMERICA be wise, and justly estimate the blessings of her highly favored situation. In the splendor of her rising beams, the damps, the fogs of anarchy, sedition and every evil work, die away, and are exhaled into nonentity. The oppressed of the elder world will seek an asylum in this last retreat of liberty and her attendants—and founded on the rock of union, the world shall see our country,
"To glory, wealth and fame ascend—
Her commerce rise, her realms extend;
Where now the Panther guards his den—
Her desert forests swarm with men—
Her cities, towers, and columns rise,
And dazzling temples meet the skies;
Her pines descending to the main
In triumph spread the wat'ry plain,
Ride inland lakes with fav'ring gales,
And crowd her ports with whit'ning sails,
'Till to the skirts of western day,
The peopled regions own her sway."
